update

1. On February 15th I attended Alyssa Lamb's bachelorette party at Boston Pizza. A fake moustache always means good times were had:

2. The next morning I went to her house to do her wedding makeup! I wish I took a before pic. Oh well. She's gorgeous either way and I'm so happy for her and Brant. Those two are going to have some pretty tall babies.

Alyssa also wanted me to do Shannon's makeup too - she's Brant's little sister. I plucked her eyebrows for her and man was she tough! She'd never had them done before and she hardly flinched. What a beauty.

3. That night I caught a ride with the lovely Christine Lyons down to Raytown. Right when I got there Kutarnas were just leaving the house to go to O-sho. I couldn't resist. Brad and Cassi met us there and we had some pretty great conversation about Dragon Ball Z. Just ask Cassi...and Alex...and Joe.

We had a great Sunday dinner as usual and then I fell asleep from 6pm to 8am. On Monday Kutarnas left and I waited for Christine to be finished with her shenanigans so we could head home. Mom and Dad took me out for some pretty delicious gluten free pizza at Top Pizza. It's quite the hidden gem. Then I went to visit Grandma B and had a wonderful chat (not even lying).

4. That night Burns gave me my belated Valentine's present:

Chocolate overload! I think I gained 5 pounds from this alone.

5. The next day (Tuesday) Haillee invited Burns and me to her family's goodbye dinner for her at Nick's Restaurant. She is now living happily in New Zealand for the next 4 to 6 months. I miss her already. Great company and fan-freakin-tastic steak! Wow!

6. This is Molly:

Burns and I see her around sometimes and we love her. She's a funny kitty.

7: You know these things?

Well there was once a challenge to cut the specially marked tops off of 8 of these bags and send them in to the company in Ontario. In return they would send two Cineplex movie passes. I did this wondering if they would stay true to their word and guess what:

I got those theatre tickets!

8. Arianne and Daryn are having a GIRL! I thought for sure they were going to have a boy (they still could) but I'm so excited! I love my little nieces so much and this one will be no exception!

9. Marshie and Carol got engaged on February 23rd! I'm so happy for them!!! I guess I'll never have a little sister (unless Brad or Sam marries someone younger than me) but there is always room for older sisters! Congrats you two!

10. Burns had to cut his luscious locks today. I almost cried.

Sporting a little mullet.

So sad.

Before and after.

Poor Boonie.

We wanted his hair long for at least our engagement pictures but his parents gave him an ultimatum: cut you hair or move out. Since he can't afford to move out he decided to cut it. Good thing he is so handsome either way. Don't worry folks, once we're married he'll be free to grow his hair as long as he pleases. This is not the last you've seen of long haired Burns (hopefully)!
